Sanduny
The most traditional and popular among Russians is Sanduny. It has 2 separate bathing houses, one for men and one for women. The men's bathing house is like a Greek temple, with a large pool and nicely decorated entrance and dining hall. Unfortunately this is only open for women once a year. The women's part is more sober but still quite an experience.

This banya is smaller than Sanduny but is much more modern, with a nice & bright atmosphere. They have good and very clean facilities like, several steam rooms, a small cold pool and a proper dressing room. You can also book spa treatments and the prices are reasonable.

A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
